]]> To mark the beginning of the cold months, runways get creative adding layers and layers of clothing to fight the chillness. As for the shades, black is not the only one acceptable during this time and designers proposed a whole range of possibilities to mix and match hues at our whim. From New York to Paris, London and Milan, the forthcoming Autumn/Winter season promises a plethora of possibilities to warm up our winter wardrobe with a bold and edgy colour palette.

Digital Lavender

As the Colour of the Year for 2023, this shade was presented on the runway in various adaptations tailored for the winter season. This delicate hue brings forth a sense of calmness and cheerfulness, making it an ideal choice to embrace during colder months.

Acids Green and Yellows

Encapsulating vivacity, warmth, and radiance, these shades are a style statement. Colours of intense luminosity can now be worn with trousers and coats for the winter season bringing an edgy element to any outfit. These are versatile and fun options that will heat any cold look.

Pearled Ivory

Delicate and elegant as the pearls, this colour is an invitation to embrace de coziness of the season. In monochrome looks or carefully curated garments, this shade evokes introspection and reflection during the colder months while exuding a sense of softness and sophistication.

Friar Brown

Reminiscent of Autumn’s scenery, Brown emerges as the perfect transition from Autumn to Winter season. Evoking an earthy and natural aesthetics, this reddish-brown hue exudes finesse and lavishness. On the runway we saw it in dresses, coats, accessories, shoes, and trousers, proving the versatility of this shade.

Charcoal Grey

With the popularity of the Quiet Luxury trend, is no surprise that a shade of grey would lead the runway. This rich tone encapsulates a sense of discreet beauty and bourgeois charm while emanating refinement. An ideal choice for both casual and formal outfits during the cold months ahead.

]]> Move over ‘Hot Girl Summer’ because this year it’s Barbie’s time to shine. Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or had no childhood), you know Barbie. She’s the doll that needs no introduction: we all wanted to either be her or date her. And, even if we’re too grown up to play with toys anymore, our fascination with the pink style icon has stayed with us.

Born as a TikTok core aesthetic in summer 2022, Barbiecore has taken over the world. From celebrities like Megan Fox and Barbie Ferreira to influencers like Maya Ashley and Amelia Dimondelberg, everybody’s living the fuchsia-clad life. Even luxury designers like Valentino and Versace have jumped on the wagon. And with the Greta Gerwig live-action Barbie movie finally coming out on July 21st, there’s no better time to join these A-listers in their bright, sparkly summer. The best part is that eventhough the franchise was not inclusive in the 2000s, this time around we can all be a Barbie girl in a Barbie world (yes, I said that).

So if you’re looking to heal your inner child this summer, here’s how to embrace the Barbiecore trend on any occasion:

Date Night Barbie

https://www.instagram.com/p/CfOXNHslyou/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D

https://www.instagram.com/p/CoiKCWBvaXw/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D

Ken or no Ken, we all need a go-to date night outfit that makes us feel confident. And this summer, a glam pink dress is what your romantic dreams are made of. With a matching bag, lace-up stilettos, and a romantic necklace, this look will make you look like a Barbie princess–and be treated like one.

Beach Barbie

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr_Gws2Po9z/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Even if you don’t live in a Malibu Dreamhouse, with this outfit it’ll feel like you do. Maya knows how to Barbie it up, and her bubblegum bikini look couldn’t be easier. We suggest adding a matching cover-up and some hue-toned accessories to your swimsuit to fully commit to the look; after all, you can’t spell Barbie without pink.

Party Barbie

This summer, we all deserve to have a good time, all the time. So if you’re looking for a party outfit, nothing screams fun more than a pink corset top with a matching skirt and shiny platform shoes; just look at Megan Fox for inspiration. With a sparkly bag, this look guarantees you’ll be the life of every club.

Hustler Barbie

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cifcoxig10A/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Barbie has a million different jobs: she’s an astronaut, a lawyer, a veterinarian, and a fashion designer– to put it lightly, she’s the original girl boss. So if you need to hustle this summer, add a soft pink blazer and matching kitten heels to your office outfit rotation.

Workout Barbie

https://www.instagram.com/p/CY_9O6cpBS1/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

There’s no better gym motivator than a cute workout outfit. With this matching set, you’re guaranteed to look cute while breaking a sweat. You can also add a sweatband and trainers if you’re looking to impress your local gym Ken-or get some Kenergy for yourself.

This year, they finally decided it was time to extend their sizings, and have recently dropped their first inclusive collection; ‘Love Drop’ in collaboration with online retailer 11 Honoré. Ganni has already mesmerized several Instagram influencers and celebrities with its collections that open doors to a vivid dimension. However, for the first time, the Danish brand is now set to entice fellow Ganni-enthusiasts with an extended range.

The collection comes in sizes 4-24 and includes 10 different designs, showcasing GANNI’s signature style through the floral prints and structured silhouettes. They are responsibly made with low impact recycled materials such as Nylon, Silk and Polyester. Further indicating that GANNI has evolved over the past year, and is on its way to becoming an inclusive and responsible brand.

Speaking on the collection, GANNI’s creative director Ditte Reffstrup said; “GANNI is not about one look or uniform identity, it’s about confidence and kick-ass energy — and it’s my hope we can continue to share this spirit with more and more people. Everyone is welcome.”

]]> The fresh out the ocean look has been a staple for decades with designs from Galiano in the 80s and Alexander Mcqueen in the 90s instigating the wet look appeal, though more recently the trend has picked up steam and flooded our feeds and with the help of the celebrity-approved brand, Di Petsa, you can ride the wave too.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CRB_xyNtqvJ/

In the past, the trend has been synonymous with the sexual objectification of women, accused of merely appealing to the male gaze. However, Di Petsa has given the look a whole new meaning by putting the power back to the ladies who are wearing the looks and highlighting the female form in the most positive of ways. The sensual designs come with a message of self-birth and have been created with the aim of empowering women to take sexy into their own hands—through bold, sexy activewear that encourages them to embrace their sexuality in whatever way they like.”

While for some it may seem a farfetched style that can only be showcased at the most exclusive of events, think Kim Kardashian’s Thierry Mugler wet look at the Met Gala in 2019, this is just not the case. Bella Hadid was spotted casually wearing Di Petsa’s wet look mini on her summer vacation just a few weeks ago, revealing just how versatile the trend can be.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CSkvLjotnGj/

With the likes of Megan Fox and FKA Twigs sporting the latest looks from Di Petsa, the appeal of the wet look dress is ever so apparent. To soak up the style, we suggest pairing your wet look dress with drenched hair (a whole other trend in itself!) and dewy skin to match, that leaves you looking wet from head to toe!

Classy? Bougie? But definitely not ratchet! Up your style game with the in-print cherub trend this summer. Stepping up your homebody attire to a new look.

The on-trend cherub is already lingering within the fashion sector, and without a doubt has grasped the eyes of many style seekers. Although its print is commonly associated with the Italian designer Fiorucci, its iconic appearance is an inspiration to numerous fashion fanatics.

The angel effect is a symbol of the renaissance era and at present is embedded in streetwear as a must-have this season. Its unique print has come to SS20 with a mesh approach that was considered a huge part of fashion in Europe around the eighteenth century. This has made its way back into fashion throughout the years.

You can’t deny that the baby angel and mesh combo has not popped up on your insta feed! It goes unnoticed and it is a must-have for summer. Its statement arises within its boldness and authenticity, but that goes for any print. We are so used to one tone hues, that a little a hint of a mixed palette practically takes over your whole look, which is what the cherub aspires. The appealing idea of the print is created to stand out, while its combination of colours can somewhat making it easier to pair with any plain garment.

Pretty Little Thing, Shein, Fiorucci and ASOS

The loving angel has seen to hit our favourite in-style looks via its collaborations through tie-dye along with its vibrant colours such as cloudy blue. While colour blocking its way through co-ord sets, as of our love for loungewear during this time. The duo has constructed its charisma through many traits of fashion while leaving a trail for future fashionistas to follow.

The antique feel has enabled a different side to SS20, as it steers away from neutral colour tones to a more “I’m going to stand out and no one can stop me” tone. You could call it a retro yet stylish appeal.

If you are looking to find an inexpensive cherub look with a mix of colours, no need to shop high end, there are a variety of online retailers that do store this print; which can be found on Shein or Missy Empire for as little as £10. A pop of print can make your fit insta worthy!

Switch up your look and make prints the essential staple this SS20.

]]> The fashion rebirth of pastel has made its way back into ss20 and without a doubt is a staple for this season. Its unique colour scheme is set to brighten and energise your wardrobe as it shifts away from dark tones.

The fresh pastel look is a statement waiting to happen, whether it be from a matching crisp two-piece suite to an oversized t-shirt and some joggers; a splash of pastel can transform your ‘kitchen outfit’ to a whole new level. The palette itself is very appealing to the eye, it goes unnoticed as it lures you in. It’s one of those things that you either love it or you are drawn to it; there is no in-between!

Look 1:

Pretty Little Thing, Nasty Gal, Isabel Marant and Gucci
Pretty Little Thing, Nasty Gal, Isabel Marant and Gucci

Bralet: Pretty Little Thing Lilac Slinky Triangle Bralet (£8)

Skirt: Pretty Little Thing Lilac Slinky Split Back Maxi Skirt (£15)

Jacket: Nasty Gal In It to Fringe It Oversized Denim Jacket (£65)

Boots: Isabel Marant Duerto Texan ankle boots (£765)

Sunglasses: Gucci Oversized square pearlescent-acetate sunglasses (£355)

The pastel palette offers a range of soothing tones from lilac, baby blue to a mint green that can be depicted through not only garments but also via trainers, eye shadows, bags and many more to enhance your fit.

It can be seen that the pastel trend is highly influenced by Harajuku fashion originated in Japan; as it is bold and visually attractive. Although it is commonly associated with layering and standing out from the crowd, the Harajuku influence of pastel hues have unlocked a trail for many fashion designers and brands, that have transformed garments to portray less is more through pastel.

Look 2:

River Island, Converse and Miu Miu
River Island, Converse and Miu Miu

Suit: River Island Petite pink pinstripe double breasted blazer (£65)

Shoes: Converse Runstar Hike, White Black Gum (£89.99)

Sunglasses: Miu Miu Eyewear La Mondaine oversized-frame sunglasses (£250)

Card Holder: Miu Miu Leather Credit Card Holder (£180)

Needless to say, Nike has set high expectations for future pastel infused garments, having created the Nike mini metallic swoosh oversized pastel colour block hoodie and joggers. Its sell-out has made streetwear enthusiasts hunt for similar apparels, due to reseller prices being over the top. It can be perceived that this co-ord broke boundaries and opened a trend for colour blocking with a streetwear infused twist. To top the fit, Nike had also created the Air Force 1 Shadow trainers in pastel that had generated a gateway for the sneaker community as well.

Look 3:

Fiorucci, For Love & Lemons, Burberry, Juicy Couture and Missoma
Fiorucci, For Love & Lemons, Burberry, Juicy Couture and Missoma

Top: Fiorucci Flying Cherub T-Shirt Dress Green (£100)

Shorts: For Love & Lemons Smythe Hot Short (£150)

Hat: Burberry reversible leopard print bucket hat (£310)

Shoes: Juicy Couture logo chunky flatform sandals in pink (£89)

Necklace: Missoma Lucy Williams Gold t bar chunky chain necklace (£295)

Initially, more and more designers have interpreted the pastel trend throughout the years, such as the angel brand Fiorucci. This has made the fast-fashion sector drawn to the idea of pastel, by making the viral dynamic more accessible to the fashion sector. These can be found on online retailers such as Pretty Little Thing. However, if you are looking for original pastel garments head over to eBay to find a more vintage look.

Its lively attraction has set a reoccurrence in the fashion industry throughout spring and summer; it will definitely be back again next year with no hesitation. Its unique palette has submerged and adapted across styles such as tie-dye and loungewear this season, we can only look forward to what is in store for us next!

Look 4:

As we continue and go on with our death to the jeans or anything restrictive tour our next stop the top indoor trend Matching sets. From colour blocking to the monochromatic fashion of the outside now, we have the matching set trend of the indoors. As we go into an additional three weeks, it is time to recognise this as our new normal and get into this trend.

It’s about matching print and colour.

Set: Oh Lydia Pink Power Undies (£19)

Slippers: UGG Fluff Yeah Logo Slide (£100)

Socks: Adidas White, Pink and Red Mid Cut Crew Socks (£13.00)

Mug: Yes Studio Mug, I Did Not (£ 7.16)

For a true matching set, the aim is for the outfit to look like it was initially cut from the same material and made into two garments. To get this level of matching you almost always have to purchase the clothing together, but you may get lucky and find a matching set in your closer

Matching with solid colours

Joggers: OFF WHITE Tie-dye track pants (£441)

Top: Pretty Little Thing Black Tie-dye rib racer vest (£12)

Bandana: ASOS DESIGN paisley print bandana in pink (£3.60)

Glasses: DIOR EYEWEAR Oversized square sunglasses(£287)

Necklace: Brandy Melville Gold baby nameplate necklace ($12)

Another way you can create your own matching set is by pairing print with a similar solid colour. If you own a printed top or bottom and you would like to get into the trend how about you match that printed top or bottom with a similar coloured bottom. The trick to getting the look you have to make sure the colour in the top has to be an exact match to the bottom and the solid colour garment has to be simple with no print.

Pyjamas or matching set.

Gown: MARJOLAINE Jaguar silk-satin dressing gown (£295)

Set: SHEIN Leopard Print Lace Trim Cami PJ Set. (£10.99)

Shoes: EGO Marilyn Faux Feather Pointed Toe Pyramid Heel Mule In Black Faux Suede (£19.99)

As you are beginning to notice the guide behind attaining the matching set is similar to the guide to your pyjama sets. So, the question is, Is it a loungewear matching set or Pyjama. Even before we were stuck inside the trend of silk or cotton looking pyjama sets was already out there. Take a look into your closet and find that silk pyjama with the matching robe and you will find that it is equally appropriate for the rest of your house as it is for the bedroom.

Vary the material.

Shorts: Public Desire relaxed jogger shorts co-ord (£17.99)

Top: 4th + Reckless knitted crop top with bust cup detail in white (£28)

Shoes: Alexander Mcqueen Tread Slick high-top sneakers (£490)

Necklace Orelia Chunky chain necklace (£22)

Earings: Orelia Oval Hoop Earrings (£18)

The last way you can create a matching set is to wear different garments of different material and fabric but the exact same colour. Although this is more into the monochrome fashion trend, it also resembles a matching set, and it makes it easier for you to join in.

Create your own matching set

If you do not want to purchase something new and you want to create a matching set of your own here is a way to do it. For sweats other than just matching the colour you can create a print on both sections of the sweatsuit by using tie-dye, but you have to be careful the print looks similar or continuous. You can also create an ombre effect by blending a colour into white using bleach, which may be a bit harder.

If you’ve recently found yourself struck by a desire to regularly swathe yourself in lashings of pearls, velvet and brocade, or with a healthy appreciation for puff sleeves, romantic necklines and jacquard ballgowns, then you’re not alone – Renaissance-era dressing is having a moment right now. Thanks to the preponderance of that giant-collared Ganni shirt, it’s safe to say that we’re experiencing a period of white-blouse mania, whereby fanciful iterations of Shakespearean-inspired blouses and lacy, ruffled confections are firmly entrenched in the season’s repertoire of must-have wardrobe items. The runways, too, in recent seasons have witnessed an inundation of 16th-century-inspired attire, with designers presenting collections in ode to all things Renaissance.

Brock SS20 and AW20

Sometimes when present happenings and goings on feel unsettling – say, amidst a period of political, social or environmental uncertainty – we, as a society, have a collective desire to look to the past as a way of resisting or escaping the realities of the present. Nowhere is this tendency more pervasive than in fashion, where trends and collections are defined by the decades or eras that they mirror, where designers use clothes as a means of transportation to carry us back to the past. Myriad designers have offered a reflection on this cultural zeitgeist of nostalgia, harking back to times past and decades, or centuries, gone by, serving up skirtfuls of whimsical escapism in a bid to ease the bitterness of the present. Not a season goes by without a sartorial reference to ‘90s grunge or ‘70s boho-chic, as nostalgia for not-so-distant decades spills out from celebrity throwback photos and vintage relics from previous generations’ wardrobes.

Khaite AW20 and SS20, Marc Jacobs SS20 and Paco Rabanne AW20

But there’s a certain joie de vivre that comes from celebrating a historical aesthetic that extends back far beyond any of our memories, one constructed of fragments of history – art, stories, fairytales, history books – intertwined with our own imagination, offering a distant escape from the quotidian. The exaggerated aesthetic of Renaissance-era dressing fits neatly into the criteria required for trends to take off in an age when fashion is constructed with the intention to orchestrate a social media moment – it offers a theatricality far removed from the stripped-back normcore and athleisure aesthetics that continue to dominate the fashion landscape, instead peppered with decadent jolts of appeal for sartorial maximalists. The simultaneous collective infatuation for cinematic period pieces seems too coincidental not to address – Greta Gerwig’s Little Women addresses the prairie-meets-Renaissance aesthetic with aplomb (thanks to Academy Award-winning costume designer Jacqueline Durran). Autumn de Wilde’s Emma continues to fan the flames of the trend through its fantastical Regency-era costuming, bursting with bell-skirt ballgowns awash in pastel colourways, imbued with a playful frivolity equally found in Renaissance-era dressing.

Prada SS19

On the runways, many designers have also reached into the capacious bag of Renaissance-era style tricks. At Prada’s Spring/Summer 2019 show, models were sent down the runway in looks complete with opulent headwear worthy of a spot of cushioning Anne Boleyn’s head, ushering in a season of ubiquitous regal padded headbands. (A discussion of Renaissance style would not be complete without paying due respect to Anne Boleyn, the 16th-century’s biggest influencer and fashion’s latest muse – the iconic oil painting in the National Portrait Gallery in London has us musing over her pearl-lined neck, swathed in inky velvet and proudly holding a sky-high embellished veil on her head.)

Simone Rocha AW20 and SS20

Simone Rocha’s aesthetic has long been an ode to the eerie romance of Renaissance-era dressing – for her Spring/Summer 2020 collection, sheer leg-o’mutton sleeves belled out of china-print gowns and pearl-encrusted jewels appeared in copious quantities, grazing the collars of intricate tulle silhouettes or adorning jewel-studded headbands. Brock’s 2020 collections also offered visual feasts of romantic silhouettes that almost look like they were pulled from 16th-century oil paintings – billowing jacquard gowns adorned with intricate embroidery and Juliet sleeves, square-neck brocade dresses and floor-grazing florals rendered in tulle and lace.

Markarian AW20 and SS20

 NYC-based brand Markarian’s whimsical collections possess a certain romantic sensibility that translates into a cocktail of corsetry-inspired silhouettes, sumptuous brocades, and floral print silks, perfectly complemented by evening shawls or scarves that elevate the elegance of any ensemble.”

For his Autumn/Winter 2020 collection at Paco Rabanne, Julien Dossenna unveiled an homage to 16th-century Elizabethan-era style in the form of elaborate ruffle necks and Juliet sleeves, with billowing florals ballooning out from shoulder hems and lace-finished cuffs.

Bella Hadid and FKA Twiggs in Vivienne Westwood AW90

If the ubiquity of Renaissance-inspired looks on the runway isn’t enough to convince you to plunge into the trend, it’s also celebrity-approved, with A-listers from Bella Hadid to FKA Twigs exhibiting a predilection for all things celestial, spotted sporting Vivienne Westwood’s iconic vintage AW90 corset from her oil-painting-inspired Portrait collection. Besides, there’s never been a better time to escape back a few centuries and get dressed as if you were 16th-century royalty.
